Percy's POV

I opened my eyes to see sunlight peering inside the room from behind the cream curtains. I stretched my arms and let out a long yawn as I sat up on the mattress. Waking up in a strange room didn't seem to faze me as much as it would have a year ago. Turning my head to say something to Davina I noticed I was the only one in bed. I closed my eyes and listened to my surroundings for a sound of her. When I didn't hear anything I noticed a piece of paper on the nightstand next to where she slept. I reached over the bed and took it. The paper said "I'll be back around 8 I have to collect some supplies for some spells. I left a bottle of my blood in the fridge in case you get hungry. I've cast a barrier around the apartment to restrain you in case you get too aggressive". I set the note down and rubbed the sleep away from my face as I picked up my boxers from the previous night.

I walked down the hallway to explore the apartment. Aside from the brown couch, game console, glass coffee table, and flat screen TV it was pretty bare. I turned right into the kitchen which like the living was pretty bare except for the common appliances; stove, refrigerator, and sink. Opening the white fridge I pulled out the bottle of blood and gulped it down. When I finished drinking a wave of peace settled over me as memories of last flooded my mind. I gripped the bottle in my hand as I remembered how her skin felt under my fingers and how she made me feel completely weak. I closed my eyes and thoughts of Rebekah replaced last nights actions. I saw her sarcastic smile and her gray-blue eyes rolling in amusement. The way her blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders in waves. I threw the bottle to the wall in anger refusing to allow my old feelings for to come back. My skin all of a sudden felt hot and I walked down the hall back towards the bathroom to take a cold shower.

When I finished showering I realized I didn't have any clean clothes and my luggage was back with the Mickaelson's. Wrapping a towel around my waist I walked out just as the front door unlocked. I froze as the door opened. Davina stepped in with a black bag in her hand. She stopped when she saw me in nothing but a towel. Raising her eyebrow she said, "Where's your clothes?". Running an annoyed hand through my wet hair I said "I don't have any clean clothes". Davina shut the door and said, "Well did you check the drawers?". Crossing my arms over my bare chest I said "And why would I look there?". Rolling her eyes she walked over to the kitchen and said "Because I made sure to pack clothes in it, they should be your size". I said "Well you could have written that on the note. Speaking of, why are you here I thought you were gonna be out until 8". Placing the black bag on the counter she pulled out several blood bags. Davina turned her back to me as she put the bags into the refrigerator. While doing so she said, "Well I figured the one bottle of blood wasn't going to satisfy you so I went to a friend of mine and stole some". Nodding along to her explanation I said "I guess I should thank you". She turned around to face me and said "Or you could just show me how grateful you are..." she trailed off as she eyed me. This time I rolled my eyes and said "As much as I would love to express my gratitude, I'm afraid we have more important things to do". Walking towards me she asked "Mind elaborating on what important things we need to do?".

"Well for one, I did not have a hearty breakfast. Second, I really would rather hear about our future plans for the Mickaelson's".

"Did you really just say you want revenge more than me"

"I feel like I just stepped on a land mine"

"That's because in the next ten seconds I'm pretty sure you'll feel the mine set off"

"Look, I didn't mean it like that. It's just I really want to get back at those asses"

"Your not really helping your case"

"You know what screw it, let me express my gratitude"

With those last words I scooped her up in my arms and pressed my lips firmly against hers. The moment only lasted for a second because she leaned back and said "A simple thank you would suffice". Davina moved away from me as I inwardly cursed myself for turning down her offer. Letting out a long sigh I said "I guess I should have seen that coming". She smirked at me and said "Yeah you should have" and walked towards the couch. I occupied myself next to her on the couch as she began flipping through the TV channels. She stopped on a local news channel. They were broadcasting a painted wall. The wall had a painting of a green eyed black haired man looking down at his blood soaked hands. At the bottom of the painting was the artists signature, a cursive "m". How did people find that appealing? My ears caught a pounding heart beat and it took me less than a second to realize it was Davina's. I turned to face her to see a hardened expression. Her expression remained that way until I said "What's wrong?". The brunette whipped her head to me and said "Don't you see?". My expression must have been confused because she said "It's you!".

Confirming her claim I looked at the painting again and realized it was me.

"Who would paint a picture of me?"

"Someone who's looking for you"

"And that would be?"

"The Mickaelson's"

"Are you kidding? Why would they look for me? I'm pretty sure half of the family thinks I'm dead"

Instead of answering me she stood and began pacing the room. Davina said "This changes everything". I left her to the thinking I wasn't much help in the coming up with strategies department. I thought about stopping her pacing after 5 minutes to get an explanation but I figured the only thing I receive from her is pain. When she finally stopped she turned to me and said "Get dressed". Not moving I asked, "Why?"

"We're going into town"

"Town?"

"Yes"

"Wouldn't someone recognize me"

"That's the point"

"Why would we do that?"

"Percy I need you to stop questioning my actions"

I looked at her closely to see her entire body was stiff. Her hands were clenched tightly and her voice was stern. For some reason, she seemed worried and uncertain. Standing up slowly I walked over to her and rested my hands on her shoulders slowly. She flinched when I touched her. Softly I said "Your worried". Davina looked up at me and said "No...I'm confused". Grabbing her chin I said "Is there any way I can help you with your confusion". She raised her arms and pulled my hands away from her. Davina pushed me away from her and coldly said "You could do as I said". The rejection didn't feel good. In fact, it stung but I wouldn't show it. Clenching my jaw I said, "I understand".

Then I walked down the hall towards the bedroom to put some clothes on.

Rebekah's POV

Walking through town I noticed people were surrounding something. As I neared the area I spotted a new reporter. The reporter was standing in front of a painting on a wall. Only when I was a couple feet away did I finally see the painting clearly. My heart ached as I stared at the painting of Percy. His eyes were half-lidded as he looked down at his blood covered hands. Behind him was a plain black background. When I saw the artists cursive "M" I pulled my phone out and called Klaus. He answered on the second ring.

"Hello"

"Did you paint that painting in town?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Answer the bloody question Nick!"

"Yes, I painted the picture what's it to you?"

"How do you know him!?"

"Know him? Rebekah, do you know our enemy?"

I hung up when I finally realized that Percy was for some reason still alive. I ignored the flood of relief washing over me as I also realized he was Klaus's newest threat. In that moment, I decided which side I would be on ignoring the future pain that would come with my decision. If I saw Percy again and if he in any way hurts my family I wouldn't hesitate to kill him again. I know the task wouldn't be easy, especially with how much I once cared for him dearly, but I cared about my family more. In fact, it would impossible if not for the support of my them. As much as I wanted to love, as much as I wanted to be with Percy, it wouldn't be permanent. It was plain as day that whatever the Mickaelson's loved they turned to ash. The only thing that we didn't turn to ash was each other. The family was permanent.

I looked at my hand when I felt something crumble in it. I saw that I had just crushed my phone. I threw the remains in the trash and continued on my walk ignoring the painting of the man I cared about. I mean the man I once cared about. With my head held up high, I headed toward the French Quarter.

When I reached the Quarter I walked over to Klaus and Freya. Freya was currently doing a locator spell while our hybrid brother hovered impatiently. Klaus looked up at me and said "How do you know our threat?". I looked away from him to the window beside him and said "We met in a bar and spent a night together". Lying would be the only way Elijah would be safe. Klaus nodded and said, "Does this one-night stand have a name?". I pursued my lips before slowly saying "His names Percy". Klaus narrowed his eyes at me before saying "Do you care for him?". Steadying my heart beat I said "Not at all". He probably listened to my heart beat and was convinced I wasn't lying because he said "Do you know anything about him besides his name? Perhaps where he lives? Who turned him? How he's somehow immortal". Sarcastically I said, "Yes because I asked him all those questions in between make-out sessions". My brother scowled at me and said "Do you know nothing at all?"

"I know he's a good kisser"

"Aside from his talented mouth"

"No, I only really paid attention to his mouth...and maybe a few other things..."

Klaus glared at me before he turned his attention back to Freya and said "Have you located her yet?". Freya let out a frustrated sigh before answering our annoying brother "Can I have just two seconds of peace?". Nick grumbled then moved to look out the window. I walked over to Freya and asked "Still looking for Davina?". That's when it hit me. Percy was last seen with Davina. He's with Davina right now. Did she have something to do with the events that occurred in the club? Is she manipulating him?

Freya interrupted my thinking when she said "I found her". Klaus turned to us and said, "I believe I already found her". Raising my eyebrow in question I asked "And how did you find manage to do that without Freya?". He said, "She's standing outside across the street". With those words he was gone, no doubt rushing to confront her. Freya and I followed him.

Davina's POV

I waited patiently as Klaus walked out of his home. He glared as he approached me. When we were face to face he said "I can't tell if your brave or idiotic for coming here"

"The same could be said for you and your painting"

"I see you've seen it. Did I capture him correctly?"

"No, I think you captured him perfectly he is quite powerful and could easily shed some blood right this moment"

"He could if he was here"

"What makes you so sure he isn't?"

Klaus looked around for Percy and narrowed his eyes at a nearby rooftop where a hooded figure stood peering at the street below them. At that moment, Freya and Rebekah walked out. In the corner of my eye, I saw Percy's figure slump slightly. I clenched my fists nervously. Coming down here was risky but now that Percy was being targeted I had no choice but to make them fear him. I knew that bringing Percy to see Rebekah was even riskier. He could just as easily turn his back on me and join her and take me down together. But at the moment, all I could do was put my trust into him. Rebekah spoke from a couple of inches away "So eager to be killed?". Smiling a fake smile I said, "No, I just thought I should show my new toy". Rebekah's figure visibly tensed as she looked around for Percy. When she spotted him I saw her gulp before smiling at me and saying "Well then I guess introductions are in order. Why don't you bring your toy down here to say hello". She said "toy" with enough venom I thought she was half snake.

Not depriving her of her wishes I motioned for Percy to come down. In an instant, he stood beside me with his fists clenched tightly. Rebekah took a step back. Percy said coldly "Hello". Klaus glared at Percy and said, "I take it your Percy". Percy said, "And how do know my name?". The hybrid said, "Your one night stand happened to be my sister and she told me as much as she could about you". Percy looked over Klaus's shoulder at Rebekah before saying to Klaus "I guess I should have known better than to trust a Mikaelson". Rebekah flinched before crossing her arms and looking at Percy. Freya spoke up from beside Rebekah "May I ask how you managed to best my brother in strength when he is the strongest of my family members". My partner asked, "And you are?". Freya said, "My name is Freya, I am the oldest Mikaelson sibling". He remained silent for a few seconds until he turned to me and said "I didn't know there was a witch Mikaelson I thought they were all vampires". I shrugged and said, "She just came back". Klaus said to Percy "It's rude to not look people in the eyes". Percy commented, "Well you aren't exactly people now are you?". He wore a smirk as Klaus said "I'd be careful with how you talk to me". I bit back a smile as Percy shook his head in disbelief. Then he took a tentative step forward and said "I think it's you who should watch how you talk to me". Klaus looked livid when Percy finished. Before Klaus could act Freya grabbed his forearm and warned him "We are in public". He backed down. I said "We'll then how about you invite us inside for a drink?". Freya looked at her brother with an uncertain expression. Rebekah spoke before either of them "That sounds lovely don't you think Nick". Klaus smiled and said "Yes your quite right sister it does sound lovely. After you?". He motioned for me to walk first. I did. Percy remained in his place until I turned to look at him and said "Walk with me". The black haired vampire walked beside me without saying anything.

The Mikaelson's followed us until Percy bumped into the invisible wall. Freya said, "I think it's best you wait outside". Percy glowered at her and I pressed my hand to his chest to keep him back. I ignored the look Rebekah directed at my hand that was touching Percy. Klaus said, "Now Freya, that is no way to treat a welcomed guest". Freya narrowed her eyes at him and said "In what world is he welcomed into our home". The hybrid said "This one. Now invite him in". Freya shook her head and said "Come in" to Percy. Percy walked through the door and looked around. His eyes took in every little detail of the area. His gaze stopped on a certain painting. He was looking at Rebekah's oil portrait. I watched him with annoyance. Why was he looking at her like that she's our enemy? Percy turned away from the painting.

Klaus looked at me and "Would you mind if I tested your minion in a fight". Holding back any emotion I said, "Just don't break him". Klaus cracked his neck and said "No promises". Percy readied himself in a fighting stance. A new voice from behind us said "What is this?". We all turned to see Elijah looking at Percy and Klaus. When he looked at Percy he pursued his lips and glanced at Rebekah. The two shared a look. The look ended when Rebekah shook her head. Klaus said, "My new friend and I were about to have a friendly sparring match". Elijah looked between the two vampires and said "Do you mind if I watch?". Klaus said, "Your more than welcomed to see but I can't promise you it will go on longer than a couple of seconds". I looked over at Percy to see him glaring at Elijah. Things couldn't have gone more perfectly.

Klaus noticed the glaring and asked, "Do you know my brother?". Percy turned to look at Klaus and said "Not at all. There's just something about him that I don't like". "I understand how you feel" Klaus mused. I took that opportunity to slowly slide a pocket knife from my pocket and slide it across my finger. The reaction was immediate. Percy's figure straightened as he turned my way with his fangs bared. I turned my head to see Rebekah and Elijah stiffen while Freya watched Percy cautiously. I said, "The sooner you defeat him the sooner you can feed". Elijah said, "I'm joining the fight". His siblings looked at him in surprise. Klaus said, "I cannot permit that, this is my fight". Elijah removed his blaze and rolled up his sleeves. He shot Klaus a look and said "I didn't ask for your permission". This is just too perfect.

I walked over to Percy and said "If you need encouragement just look at me". Percy nodded as I reach up and pulled his hood down. Just as I expected his eyes were blood red. That meant his senses and strength had more than doubled. I moved away from the three of them to lean against a nearby wall. When Klaus caught sight of Percy's eyes he quickly straightened up. Elijah bit his lip and stood in a fighting stance. Freya spoke up "I think it's best you three not fight". Rebekah said, "Freya have some faith in our brothers, his eye color doesn't mean anything". The scared tone she used made the moment sweeter. The Mikaelson brothers shared a look before they charged Percy.
